Explosive Audio Surfaces – Cruz Campaign Telling Iowa Precinct Captains Carson Had Dropped Out of Race…

[catfish1957]

Just a hint....8 threads on the same topic constitutes spam. Yawn.

[Reaper19]

Caught? Pretty sure they admitted to doing this based on CNN’s reporting.

BTW why are Trumpsters ignoring that Rubio’s people did the same thing? Since, as they say, Cruz won’t win any more states and Rubio’s closing in on Trump, hasn’t the order gone out to trash Rubio nonstop now?

[humblegunner]

And Sundance was caught molesting the elderly in three different nursing homes, same source.

Blogs. Feh.

[manc]

Yep I am right. Trump voter use this as an attack, Cruz voters stand there shouting la la la la with fingers in hand.

Both camps are just as bad.
Cruz got caught , same as the mailing in list. He showed he is an elected official after all.
Trump has said some out there things and over insulted. He showed he might not be Presidential.

Either way I will vote for either as I do not want the establishment to get their boy in Rubio.

Can both sides knock it off playing ignorance and so what bla bla if their guy is caught

Reporter: Do you regret, uh, announcing that that you were going to be going back to Florida and spurring some of this confusion?

Carson: Well, I didn’t make that announcement. Uh, I guess somebody talked to … other people…

Reporter: Well, your campaign told the press.

Carson: You know, *I* didn’t say it, so don’t blame me. [laughing]

Reporter: But you’re here telling us that people should know what’s going on in their campaign and hold people accountable, I mean that’s [crosstalk]

Carson: Well, let me ask you this question, is it okay after being on the road for after three weeks to go home to Florida and get a fresh change of clothes? Or is that a problem? Does that make someone into an evil, horrible person?

..... So, to summarize:

Carson admits his own campaign staffer talked to the media and said he was going to Florida.
Carson takes no responsibility for the actions of this staffer.
Cruz staffer tweeted a media report based entirely on what the aforementioned staffer said.
According to Carson, Cruz should take responsibility for that staffer.

---

So Carson knew his campaign leaked this to the press. Then got angry that it snowballed from there.... He is kinda burrying the lead here isn't he.

And going home to get a change of clothes? Is Iowa or New Hampshire so rural that he can't send staff or go himself to buy some more clothes?

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Adult-onset liberalism seems to be worse...(Trump-onset liberalism?)

[txnativegop]

I try to, but the constant harping is getting old.

[conservativejoy]

Cruz didn’t deny anything. He fully acknowledged that the CNN story was passed on. Apparently, it was not widespread, as many of the precincts said they didn’t know. So far, not a single person has said that their vote was effected by this.

Carson should hold his campaign accountable for the poorly worded press release they put out.

[SeaHawkFan]

The truth is Carson has dropped out. He just hasn’t made the formal announcement. Expect it within a week.

[GeronL]

That was still 20 minutes after CNN reported it.

every single one of them?

What of the reports of caucus-goers who say that people from Trump, Rubio & Cruz campaigns were trying to get Carson voters to switch? While many say the story never came up.

[Techjock]

Breaking News! A candidate for office told his supporters not to vote for the other guy but vote for him instead. He heard something about the other guy going to Florida instead of going to New Hampshire.

We should definitely through out the election results. In fact we can award the delegates based on which candidates bitch and whine the most! Both Carson and Trump have only themselves to blame for not winning Iowa.

[HarleyLady27]

Because it is the GOPe road map: Use Cruz in Iowa, use Rubio in N.H. and then on to another candidate...it doesn’t work, but they will keep trying...

The news cycle is being run by Trump, that’s why Cruz is losing all his support, the media isn’t talking about the Iowa Caucus except for the cheating scandal...and the news coming out of N.H. isn’t about Cruz either...

Rubio will be next weeks news, just like Cruz....

[RitaOK]

Not repeating the whole CNN story is a crime.

Guess you missed the exact time-line chronology that set this whole thing off posted in Breaking News yesterday?

[MrMarbles]

Well, I’m not voting for Cruz.

[MountainYankee]

It is a rough and tumble game. Take no prisoners. Cruz seems to know how to play. You can bet there will no quarter from the Hildebeast.

[Pajamajan]

Telling that Carson had nothing to say about being called a pedophile by Trump, but is “outraged” over a competitor repeating a story aired on CNN- a story caused by his own actions, and nothing else.

[Durbin]

“lying on documents to hide his Goldman Sacs
connections”

Where did he “lie” about this? I’ll wait.

[Reagan Disciple]

Has anyone from Iowa come out to say that they voted for Cruz because of this?

Answer - no. And if they do now, three days later it’s manufactured.

Drones will be drones.

[ExpatCanuck]

Cruz lies again..nothing new here.

I'm undecided at the moment but can you provide additional examples of lies?

[lewislynn]

Cheating is ok to St. Cruz supporters.

The Cruz supporters are too stupid to know that people who make a habit of lying and cheating don't care who they cheat or lie to...including devoted supporters and real American citizens.

He's already admitted to lying/cheating to kill the Gang of 8 bill (not sure which part is the lie but one of them is...he said so). Cruz supporters are thrilled with that lie. The next one (there will be more) might not thrill them too much.

Was he lying then or is he lying now?
